Mostly the "how I learned to stop worrying." With explosives you Never. Stop. Worrying.

I think it's fantastic that your going through the effort and research to do this but just my opinion; make sure the materials needed have a good shelf life, are relatively easy for someone over 18 to source & purchase, make the schematics kind of simple. I know it's not the topic but maybe include some sort of portable explosive with a conventional fuse or whatever. I know your trying to prevent kids from doing stupid **** but make it something a trade apprentice could do (with the access to specaliced wholesale shops)
If it's too complicated then people just won't bother with it let alone when the SHTF and everyones in panic mode. Go quality over quantity for sure.

It's a movie reference. I'm assuming you have never seen it.

Denmarno, I'm not going to make it simpler than it already is. If people actually want to make the stuff in the guide, then they will research on how to do it. If people think its too complicated and don't want to put in the effort, then its no skin off my teeth.

There's always google.

Truthfully if someone thinks it is too complicated to get involved in, that is probably better anyway.

If someone is truely commited to getting some education on this subject then they will fill in anything else themselves.

Strangelove is overused. Doesn't have anything to do with the title being ironic for the content.

Now I feel like an ass for not being entertaining. I was going to change it to :How I learned to take John's advice, but decided to call it what it is now, lol.

This is a great resource. No doubt this site and everyone on it have all been added to government watch lists ages ago, so I wouldn't worry about that part, but props to you for trying to do this is a "Let's all be responsible and not blow ourselves up" kinda way.

I'll be adding this page to my watched list for sure. Can't wait to see the updates.

Thats a great resource... even after my initial depression at finding no boobies, I found it very informative. Excellent work. Do you find this valuable?

really an interesting guide, but if i, as a chemistry student, may make some comments:
1. You are against potassium chlorate, but for acetone peroxide? being against the potassium chlorate is fine, but acetone peroxide seems a bit... "fragile". On the other hand, one needs some kind of primary explosive, and it's indrigents can be found easy
2. Astrolite A contains hydrazine, which has some disadvantages:
A: It's toxic as hell and will kill you even without exploding
B: If your neighbours car isn't a space shuttle, you won't have a chance of finding it, at least as far as i know
But the rest is pretty good
